BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) is currently indicated to treat anal squamous cell carcinoma (ASCC). Conformal dose delivery and steep dose gradients may cause marginal misses. We analyzed patterns of locoregional...
BACKGROUND: Identifying local recurrences in breast cancer from patient data sets is important for clinical research and practice. Developing a model using natural language processing and machine learning to identify local recurrences in breast cance...
We introduce the CDRP (Concatenated Diagnostic-Relapse Prognostic) architecture for multi-task deep learning that incorporates a clinical algorithm, e.g., a risk stratification schema to improve prognostic profiling. We present the first application ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Recurrence is the main risk for high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) and few prognostic biomarkers were reported. In this study, we proposed a novel deep learning (DL) method to extract prognostic biomarkers from preoperat...

BACKGROUND: Oncotype Dx is a validated genetic analysis that provides a recurrence score (RS) to quantitatively predict outcomes in patients who meet the criteria of estrogen receptor positive / human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 negative (ER+/...
Gene expression data using retrieved ovarian cancer (OC) samples were used to identify genes of interest and a support vector machine (SVM) classifier was subsequently established to predict the recurrence of OC. Three datasets (GSE17260, GSE44104 an...

Glioma constitutes the most common type of primary brain tumor with a dismal survival, often measured in terms of months or years. The thin line between treatment effectiveness and patient harm underpins the importance of tailoring clinical managemen...
